Afraid of Ghosts
Mnv people are afraid o( jhot. Few people
ere afraid of ern. Yet the fihost u a fancy and
the erm is a fact. If the jferm could be magnified
to a sire equal to ita terrors it would appear more
terrible than any fire-breathin dragon. Germs
can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe,
the water we drink.
The germ can only prosper when the condition
of the system gives it free scope to establish it
self and develop. When there is a deficiency of
r ln1iinr rrcllrunKl. B sallow cheek,
, uai iv 1 ' - ,
hollo eye, when ths appetite is poor and the
aleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can
fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce Gold
en Medical Discovery. I' increases the vital power, cleanses the
system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom
ach and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so
that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed.
"Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol, whisky or
habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on its outside
wrapper. It is not a secret nostrum but a medicine of INOn
comfosition and with a record of 40 years of cures. Accept no
ubstitute there is nothing "just as good." Ask your neighbors.
War Reminiscences by an Old
Veteran.
Written for The Robesonian.
General Robert F. Hoke was
selected by General Lee to lead
a division against the Federal
garrison in our North Carolina
town of Plymouth. General
Hoke was only 27 years of age,
but he was a brave, able and
seasoned soldier. As Plymouth
was guarded by land works of
great strength and also by gun
boats. General Hoke was anxious
to have some naval aid in his at
tack. He had heard that a
craft was being built at Edwards'
Ferry on the Rcanoke river above
Plymouth. He saw commander
James W. Cook, who was build
incr the boat, with no helpers ex
cept such mechanics as could be
picked up here and there, with
no tools but such as came from
country shops.
The private soldier of Lee's
army in 1864 was a model fighter.
He knew that his cause was fail
ing, he knew that his army was
daily growing smaller, he knew
that his dear ones at home were
in want and in danger, yet he
stood square-jawed in line. In
his battered hat, in his shirt
sleeves, in his bare feet, he
shrank from no call.
On May 5, 1864, General
Grant's line of march crossed
Lee's in the tangles of the wilder
ness, and the rested armies
sprang at each other and battled
for two days. Grant was thor
oughly beaten in his attempt to
walk by Lee. Thirty-four North
Carolina regiments swayed back
ward and forward in the fierce
fighting among the scrubby oaks
of the wilderness. On the first
of June the Federals attacked a
part of the Confederate lines,
and Cook's. Kirkland's. and
Hoke's men aided in their repulse.
On the 2nd, General Grant gave
order for an early attack along
Lee's entire front. This order
was obeyed at fearful cost. The
attack lasted only eight minutes,
but more Federals perhaps fell
bleeding in those eight minutes
than in any like period during
the war. At 9 o'clock Grant or
dered a second charge against
Lee's works, but the army re
fused to obey the command.
General Ramsuer, always brave
and faithful, was mortally
wounded and died while being
tenderly nursed in the camp of
his enemies. Old Veteran.
McDonald, N. C.
David A. Truesdale, an express
messenger, balked the robbery of
a Southern Pacihc train on tne
13th by killing two of the high
waymen. The holdup was stag
ed near the Mexican border, on
the eastern edge of the "Big
Bend" country of Texas. By a
simple ruse he attracted the at
tention of the bandit who was
guarding him from himself,
brained him with a heavy mallet,
and when the bandit who was
working the car ahead returned
Truesdale shot and killed him
with the pistol taken from the
other bandit.

Ordinary Cathartics and Pills
and Harsh Physic Cause
Distressing Complaints.
You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medecine for chil
dren. Only the very gentlest
bowel medecine should ever be
eiven. except in emergency cases.
Ordinary pills, cathartics and
purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may
cause griping, nausea and other
distressing after-effects that are
frequently health-destroying.
We personally recommend
and guarantee Rexall Orderlies
as the safest and most dependa
ble remedy, which we know, for
constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such abso
lute faith in the virtues of this
remedy that we sell it on our
guarantee of money back in every
instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction, and we urge
all in need ot such medecine to
trv it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eatpn inst
likecandy.are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be
taken at any time, day or night;
do not cause diarrhoea, nausea.
griping, excessive iooseness, or
other undesirable effects. They
have a very mud but positive
action upon the organs with
which thev come in contact. sd-

tonic upon the relaxed muscular
coat of the bowel, thus overcom
